Vintage Couture ~ Modern Luxury
When black’s not right, why not navy? The non-neutral but yet neutral shade… Check out the crazy Walk Away Factor™ on that dress to the right. Its button up racerback is stunningly chic, especially forward for it’s time considering that it’s from the 1970’s. Perfectly flirty and guaranteed to drop jaws! L~Contemporary french silk dress […]

Dove grays and cutaways occupy the centre stage this week in our window. When creme or white isn’t right, why not opt for this subtle neutral alternative? L~ 1960’s crochet cutaway midriff dress, size 4-6. Sold C~1970’s hand beaded jersey gown, size 2-4. Sold R~1960’s cutaway brocade cocktail dress, size 6.
I’m releasing my inner dominatrix this week (not really) by giving you a black leather filled window. Fun fact; I cut my teeth in many a retail shop before opening the Meow Meow and Danier leather (RIP) was one of them. Therefore I may know a thing or two about skins. One things for sure, […]
Our fresh window has 3 dollops of cream but with 0 calories! How sweet is that?! We have been getting alot of you brides through as of late so we though we should do an ‘alternative bridal’ theme for this week. Whether it’s a tack filled Las Vegas eloping (white lace 60’s jumpsuit anyone?), a […]
Is there any better way to resemble old money other than toting a vintage Hermès Kelly bag? We think not! So if your grand mother/mother wasn’t a dame, lady, Von or heiress to say a large potato empire supplying fries to the masses; then we’ve got you covered. Please welcome our newest members to the […]
If you’re a long time follower of our blog then you know that pink & purple is our #1 fav colour mash up. So it should come as no surprise that this window was a real treat for us to merchandise. These suits are giving us total Elle Woods vibes and that’s probably another reason […]
Just a big ‘thank-you’ to all of you who sent us congratulatory wishes and came out last Saturday to our party. We had a blast and look forward to what the next 10 years have to bring! The always chic Hannah Hoppe.
It was 10 years ago, April 1, 2006 to be exact, that I got the keys for 180 Avenue Rd. With much energy & enthusiasm I was hell-bent to bring Toronto the best selection of jaw dropping vintage and luxury goods. After 7 days of renovations, The Cat’s Meow was ready to swing open it’s […]

Don’t know if you noticed or not, but we skipped out on doing a post last week. Sorries… Things have been a little crazy around the Meow Meow lately as we are preparing for our big 10 year anniversary next week. On Saturday, April 2nd we will be celebrating this landmark with a party at […]
I don’t mean to brag but, I’ve seen many beautiful garments and textiles over the past 15 years in this biz. It’s like fuel for me, or perhaps it’s more equivalent to an addiction? I literally get a high when an item comes into the shop that is beyond gorgeous. This was the case in […]
After almost a month of saturated colours in our window, we have gone back to black baby! And not in a shy way either. We went full throttle with the vampy drama. We like to balance things out for you, because we care about your fashion feng shui. L~ J Mendel black silk chiffon gown […]
Wow, you all went bananas for last week’s yellow window! It was our most ‘liked’ picture ever on our instagram page→@thecatsmeowmeow. Thank you yellow lovers! But now, however can we top it? Hopefully you’ll find our current bubble gum pink display just as sweet! L~ 1960’s hand embroidered rafia dress, size 6-8. C~1960’s Bottega-esque woven […]
Sunshine yellow is beaming out of our window and onto Avenue Rd this week. We figured you might need a little vintage vitamin D to put a some pep in your step. On another note, did you know that this year marks the Meow Meow’s 10th anniversary? We are thrilled to the gills that you […]
How ravishing are these raspberry reds in our window? It’s our Valentine’s Day gift to your eyeballs, do they love it? Do they say ‘Yes to the dress’? The pedestrians seem to slow/stop and stare at them, which is a good indicator considering the -127° weather lately. And to all of you reading this within […]

Measures 4½” x ½” x 6¼”. Hermès indigo Epsom agenda cover. Measures […]
Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Over the years we’ve come across some incredibly embroidered Chinese textiles and are always in awe of their fine embroidery.

We are so excited to showcase this current window! Whenever we get in a piece that sends our salivary glands into overdrive we become fixated on; a) how soon can we get it into the window & b) what can we display it with. This week is no different. The drool worthy, dramatic sequined cape […]
